Burt Munro 2015 Velos

Dear All

A video of the boys playing at the street race girder class at last years Burt Munro.

Two Velo KTTs #231 and 32 ridden by Chris Swallow and Cloud Craig Smith. And #4 ridden by Bill Biber. The "Big Velo" as it is known in NZ. The 1934 Ulster GP winner and I think 3 rd in that year TT as well. https://velocetteracing.files.wordpress ... ver_sm.pdf

All machines prepared by Nick Thomson.

There's another one there as well. Not so much to my taste but has a few shots of the bikes close up.

And plenty of grey hair - or not much hair. Young Swallow excepted !!!!!

That was a nice read, thank you for sharing!

Thanks

Not many 100% genuine 1934 works machines still being raced in anger these days.

The rider is Bill Biber who was a front runner back in the 1970s production racing in NZ. Won the NZ Castrol 6 Hour one year and competed against all the guys at the time. Crosby, Discombe, Ginger Molloy, Avant, Boote, the Hiscocks and the Ozzies, Hansfords, Sayles etc.

The golden days of NZ racing really.
